Two very pretty and very stylish looking
young ladies have been making decided sell

ing OF the tricycle.. Both are remarkably
pretty and wear handsome street costumes.
One OF them wears a gentleman's high silk
hat, the only difference being that it is turned
up on one side and has a little black feather
in it. Her cloth dress fits her trim figure eX-
quisitely, and ON her wee, pretty foot she
wears long boot, like hackwoodsman.

too much meat, and make breakfast less Of q

Busy Men and Women.

A busy woman who must think, who must
care for Others, whose heart is in her work
for others. and Whose life cannot be confined
within four walls or any narrowing conven-
tionalities, seeks her kind and saves her
precious moments by receiving her friends
upon one day in the week. The busy man,
shut in his Office for long hours. harassed by
many cares and often flagellated by foes,
finds it sweeter and better for the few mo
ments' chat in some attractive home, where
beauty, music and flowers give him the
neeled poetry to mate with his prosaic cares.

Her Side of the Question.

Still there is one condition on which they,
even they themselves, will go bareheaded to
the theatre, will compromise on a Spanish
lace scarf about the head, on a low bonnet, on
a Marie Stuart cap, on nothing. They will
take the time and trouble TO dress their hair

oblation To curiosity 10 the extent Of letting
the women behind them gloat over the special

long, they will sacrifice the last scene of the
play, be it the fires of Wooden playing about
Brunhilda, for the sake of getting to the
check room in time to find their cloaks and
reach the cars; they will meet any and every
demand in relation to the high hat-as we say
on one condition.
The condition is far simpler than anything
proposed to them. 1t is merely that the male

her opera glass, and erect herself and push
back her seat, and clutch her properties again
and hold them breathless for another rise
when the niiscreants come back and oblige
her to do it all over again, and have their
breath blown in her face the while These
women say, then, that when managers make

Hog Guessing on Long Island.

The season is rapidly approaching when harvest homes will be superseded by hog guessing, the fayOrite amusement of Long Islanders. The manner of proceeding Is ss follows:
 Handbills are printed announcing the time and place of the proceedings. The name and assumed weight of the hogs. to- gether with the cost of the tickets Dare also advertised. Each person registers his es- timate of the weight upon the ticket be- fore surrendering it. Then q hog whose name and assumed weight has been ad- vertised is killed and dressed. The per son who guesses the exact weight of the slaughtered animal takes him, or the guess nearest the correct figure entities the guesser to the meat. Reckoning or allowing is not permitted. Par ticipants, however. can guess as many times as they are willing and able to pay for the privilege. Some of the swine slaughtered are of enormous dimensions and tip the scales anywhere from 400 to GOO pounds.
 Various artifces are resorted to by which the weight of the animals is ascer- tained or approXimated beforehand. Ere quently measurements are taken upon which guesses are based, and sometimes the actual weight Is aScertained at night. New York Evening Sun.
